Just bought this the other day, Have a 350 4 bolt and probably going to go with a built 200r4. It had a 383 w/th350. This site was one reason I bought this old 65. I think I'll be using this site alot as I go.

Welcome

Nice to have another spud around

Where did you get your truck?

Morris315 · 07-28-2009, 06:24 PM

I bought it in Boise. I hope to have it on the road by this time next year

4dranch · 07-28-2009, 06:30 PM

Welcome Morris, From West Tn. nice looking rig you got. The stance looks nice..

monolith · 07-28-2009, 06:32 PM

I absolutely love the truck- it's like a preview of what I want to do with mine (moon discs and scallops)

Welcome- this site is a great resource- if these guys can't help you do it- it can't be done- there is a LOT of knowledge and talent here.

Morris315 · 07-28-2009, 07:01 PM

Ya this site has tons of great advice! I want to go with a 200r4, if anyone has done this it would be great to here about it.

protrash64 · 07-28-2009, 07:04 PM

from AZ. Cool looking truck and good luck with your plans. Post up pics as you go.

Imperial Kustom · 07-28-2009, 07:04 PM

welcome from Boise! You got that truck from Wayne did ya? I hope you got a good price. Now fix the hacked crap and get 'er runnin!!!

jonzcustomshop · 07-28-2009, 08:33 PM

the 200 is the same size as a turbo 350, and mounts the same. you have to get a kit to lock up the electric converter.
I have heard that if you get them beefed up a little they will handle lots of HP and that the ratios are better than a 700r4

nice truck to start with.

jchav62 · 07-29-2009, 10:12 AM

Nice truck and welcome from Santa Fe, New Mexico...

Morris315 · 07-30-2009, 06:42 PM

Thanks everyone,
IK- Ya that was the guys name, and I think I got a good price or I woulnt of bought it.
Jon- Thanks for the info, just need to learn how to set it up.

daverod · 07-30-2009, 10:06 PM

Got any pics from under it. Just wondering why it so low.

Morris315 · 07-30-2009, 10:56 PM

I was digging the first wheel.

Did you put the skull and bones in the dash?

Morris315 · 12-08-2010, 11:59 PM

I built, wrecked, rebuild a chopper and have been working on getting this beast up to par befor winter. Put a 327 with a th350. I got all the electrical worked out and dash gauges all working. Still need to do some more work on the interior and then it will be a disc brake swap and also redo the suspension while I’m at it. Hopefully ill be better at posting!

Allensracing · 12-09-2010, 12:03 AM

Ya the wheel was like that when I bought it. I did put skull and bones in the dash, I painted the internals so I thought why not.

jimmydean · 12-09-2010, 01:35 AM

Great looking sled, too! Mine is for hauling bikes, as well.

badriand · 12-09-2010, 10:35 AM

Are those purchased whites or did someone cut them out? They look really wide..

Morris315 · 12-09-2010, 11:01 AM

They are painted on, they were like that when I bought it. I'm not sure what paint he used but the are about 5 years old and look pretty good. I'm going to buy some real ww this summer.
